A key highlight during the Chillventa CONGRESS on the October 7 will be the presentations by projects (annexes) within the Technology Collaboration Programme on Heat Pumping Technologies (HPT TCP) by IEA – International Energy Agency. Three significant topics will be featured:

  1. Energy Efficiency in Industrial Drying (HPT TCP Annex 59), by Michael Lauermann, AIT – This presentation will delve into innovations improving energy efficiency in industrial drying processes, reducing overall environmental impacts.
  2. Safety with Flammable Refrigerants (HPT TCP Annex 64), by Björn Palm, KTH – As the industry increasingly adopts low-global-warming-potential refrigerants, safety remains paramount. In addition this Annex/Project 64 will host a series of seminars and presentations at the Chillventa Congress from October 7 to 10, 2024, in Nuremberg, Germany. The sessions will delve into the safety aspects and strategies for using flammable refrigerants in heat pumps, featuring insights from global experts and ongoing research.

  3. Heat Pumps in a Circular Economy (HPT TCP Annex 65), by Jakob Thomsen, DTI – The role of heat pumps in promoting a circular economy will be discussed, showcasing how they contribute to resource efficiency and waste reduction.

In addition, (HPT TCP Annex/Project 66) will organize a kick-off meeting during the Chilventa Congress. Annex/Project 66 is focused on collecting and disseminating best practices for design, control, and installation, as well as experimental data, from different types of residential heat pumps around the world. The goal is to facilitate leveraging of best practices and results from different heat pump types and regions for as many stakeholders as possible (OEMs, Research Groups, Component Manufacturers, Legislators, and more) in order to accelerate the development and acceptance of heat pumps in residential applications.

Moreover, HPT TCP Annex 63 Placement Impact on Heat Pump Acoustics will be presented at the booth of AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology) in the Chillventa Exhibition, on October 8-10.

With a diverse range of sessions, Chillventa 2024 will provide insights into the future of heat pump technology, attracting global leaders to Nürnberg for this essential industry event. The program of the Chillventa CONGRESS covers a number of interesting and future-oriented presentations covering different topics for heat pumping technologies for residential, commercial and industrial Applications.
